Helen Mirren wears what she wants – and so do I – Lesley Keating

Veteran actress Helen Mirren was named and shamed for committing an apparently atrocious clothing-related sin the other day. Apparently super-stylish Helen’s horrific crime sent shock waves through the media as it wasn’t considered ‘age appropriate’ at 74.

I imagine you’re now wondering what on earth she’d possibly done to incur the wrath and venom of the fashion police!

Had she perhaps exposed her thong, or worn a micro skirt and a sequinned boob tube to the supermarket?

I was in the doctor’s waiting room the other day. All those waiting were very quiet apart from the odd sniffle or cough. However, the receptionist was very loud indeed.

Every person who came in had their business discussed loud enough for those waiting to hear. During the time I was there, I learned most of the other patients’ names, who they were seeing and for what.

I also learned that one was waiting on a report from a gastroenterologist, one lady’s letter from her previous doctor was in French and another had been given the wrong prescription in the pharmacy.

These are public places but shouldn’t there be just a little more privacy available?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I think some people need to revisit their Highway Code

Dear motorists, have you ever wondered what those funny little yellow criss-crossed lines on the road at random junctions are for?

Do you think they’re maybe for decoration? After all, yellow is very in right now and they do brighten up the road surface a bit.
